OGucAao. NOV. l0.-When the news OF the
accumulation Of the sentence Of Fielder aud
Sch wab WAS received at the jail, there was an
extraordinary Gene OF activity. The news
Was sent to the relativ % OF all the condemned
men, and In short time they began to arrive
at the JAIL. The Hrst OF the women to come
was Mrs. Schwab. Soon after Schwab was
bSosght from hi3 cell to the main ofice. His
wife quickly advanced to lin, and throsing
asr arms about his neck burst into tears.
3chwab returned the embrace IN q calm man
ner, aud soon the two were chatting quietly
Together. After this Spies aud Fischer were
proaght from their cells and taken to The jail
lssrAry. Engel WAS brought to the private
on &c of Mr.. FOLK. This was done for the pur-
ySose az allowing the r~elstivcs to take their last
tRtefy.ews. The first one Of the women TO
arrive after Mrs. Schwab was Miss EngeI, the
daughter OF the condemned anarchist. When
TIC two met In the private office there was an
ax OF grief, When It is I'm
possible to describe. Father and daughter
Chang to each other and sobbed
oonvgi siveiy. Their conversation was IN Ger
man. and listened to only by Deputy Olson.
Then came Mrs. Spies, the mother OF August.
She had been waiting outside for an hour and
a half. Her sobs could be heard through the
esrttdor of the building. She did not stay
long tu the library with her son, and on her
exit from the al Mrs. Fischer was admitted.
She went into the library, aud her lamenta.
lions we're heard above tn tramp OF deputies
WAC swarmed about the place. But the crown
ing scene of all was the visit OF Nina Van
xxndt, the proxy wife OF Spies. She was con.
Quoted TO the library by Deputy U'son. As
sac walked through the main Office she be-
tSsycd no emotion. The moment a. which
she raw August, however, completely changed
her demeanor. There was n look, then a
gssp, and Ia q thrice the lovers were In each
othcr's arns. A beyy CT curious reporters
and officers CROWDED mp to the door OF the
library, but 1t WAS quickly shut by the deputy.
The interview between the prisoner aud his
faithful degotee lasted nearly half AZ hour.
What actually transpired will never be known
go the world but 1t was sufficient to bring u
Rtfnmer Of tears to the Dyes OF the old deputy.
In half an hour the lovers had parted AID
the excitement OF the entrance OF Nina had
passed.
AT 6o'c.ock there wss an Influx Of deputy
rsncI4Ks to the jail. Men who had for years
been eerylug civil writs and not botherinc
their heads about hangings came In. They
an wore heavy oveIcoats, and In the right
asnd pockets OF these were bulky objects,
which TO eyes OF Il G experienced were plaiuIy
reyoivere. Orders were given forbldding the
entrance OF any one not CONNECTED with the
yress or sserif's Office. Then some OF the
deputies vent to supper and matters que ed
down A rumor was started to the eff ct that
scawab and Fielden would be removed TO
Joliet At $3.50 o'clock, but Tailor FOLK de.
saered be had no orders to that effect.
THE DECISION APPR1yKD.
~srRiNoFIELD, Nov. 10.-The announcement
% the governors decision in the anarchist
cAsc spread like wildare this evening, anG
me greatest excite m INT naturally Prevailed.
Each speculation had been INDUCED in dur
Jog the day, and since noon the impressi n
had been PREVALENT that the sentence OF Field
en and echwab would be committed, and pos.
sis'y that Of Spies or Parsons. The dec sion
c@naot be said TO have been by any means a
surprise here, and 1t is no txaggeration 70 say
bat the governors action meets with general
approval. Since sthe Eublic announcement OF
nc decision, the governor mas remained io
mis- study ct the IN AN sion, and Ia engaged this
evening IA considering the great volume OF
general public business which has accumu-
hated while the all absorbing radon case
wAs pending. He is evidently giving no heed
whatever TO the great volume Of threatening
settsss be has received, as lights are shlnirg
tTlehtly from the windows Of the executive
mansion, and every thing has its wonted AZ
pesrarce. -Four policemen are, however,
ASapang a cl0ee lookout around the mansion,
Aid VII doubtless continue to do 80 nightly

cond smned men,.

the goverontrs' decision. Representative
Rob bach and President Oliver, OF the Amues-
~ - ISOLATION, fret informed Of the decision
snanaediasely after fits C sment, and ex-
pressed grcat as;oDishment that IN re OF stbe

ZACH and Oliver could hardly credit the ne W.,
sHd when emphstically Informed OF its su.
thestlcity, appeared greatly downcsst, and
rsduHed at once 10 express any further opinion
on tie subject. George Schillipg expressed
xing'ed disappointment and disgust on hear
eng the news, but prudently abstsined from
airy forc!ble expression Of opinion. His
sbagrin was mere apparent in his action than
I'd his words, and he, too, after fully apprec!.
afing the import Of the intelligence, lspsed
into a stubboraly -uncommunicstive state.
